No matter how brilliant a man may
be, and it matters not how rich the
mines of his original resources are, he
can accomplish but comparatively lit
tie without the aid OF books. 1t is not
that he must employ the ideas which
he finds in the books, but that his
mind must receive that graceful
strength which they alone can give.
There have, it is true, been many

The following correspondence ap-

My attention has been called to the
valuable article in. your la0t Sundays
paper upon "the causes of southern
prosperity, etc" The writer of that
article very truly says, "the dull, cold
facts and figures of the iron and coal
business in the south tell the story of
the boom and explain why it will con-
tinue." | would add that these "cold
facts" taken in connection with the
new administration and the Forty
ninth congress would not give us any
destructive legislation, would not be
SO unwise as to attempt to inaugurate
a free trade policy and thus break
down the new industries Just strug-
ling into existence in the south, fully
lustities this boom in country whose
unequalled resources were waiting
the Midian-like touch of capital and
labor to transfer into gold. But, Mr..
Editor, do you not fall into into an
error when you speak of Knoxville as
the place where the magnetic ore of
Cranberry is to meet and yield to the
embrace of the coal? We of johnson

Knoxville Tribune 26th inst
Miss Hannah Fain, daughter of Mr.
Thos. Fain, Arcadia, Sullivan county,
was taken down to the Insane Asy-
lum at Lyons View yesterday, and
shortly after arrival committed suicide
by cutting her throat with razor,
which she had concealed on her per-
son.
A search had been made but the
weapon was not at that time found,
1t is the custom of the attendants to
take the patients to the bathe room
Immediately on their arrival, and while
she was being undressed, and with
out single word, reached under one
of her skirts and took from little bag
or receptacle that she had fastened to
the skirt, the deadly weapon. The at
tendant saw her first attempt and
made every effort to take the razor
from her but without being able to
prevent second attempt, narrowly
escaping from being herself killed in
her efforts to prevent the deed. The
unfortunate woman cut two large
gashes on the neck, either one would
have caused death.
The patients friends who brought
her to the asylum had no suspicion Of
her having a weapon of any kind ir
her possession, and will no doubt be
greatly shocked at hearing of her sui
eide in such a shocking manner
There can be no blame attached to the
officers of the asylum, who deeply re
gret the occurrence, and hastily mott
fed the young ladies friends, who viii
no doubt have her remains taker
home to-day.
